Mindtree's IPv6 Suite enables control of IoT devices

Digital transformation and technology services company Mindtree has released the IPv6 Stack and Smart Mesh Suite for Bluetooth Smart. The software stack is designed to help original equipment manufacturers (OEM) and semiconductor companies build in seamless cloud connectivity in their Internet of Things (IoT) products.

The combination of IPv6 and Smart Mesh technology not only transmits data collected from remote sensor nodes to cloud analytics platforms, but also enables control of end devices over the internet. IPv6 enables internet access to millions of individual Bluetooth Smart devices, providing the essential IP infrastructure for applications such as smart homes, wearables, and connected medical devices. The Smart Mesh technology helps overcome range limitations in Bluetooth Smart, an important consideration for industrial and home automation.
